UW tests what it learned over weekend

LARAMIE – Teams often learn more about themselves in a loss rather than a win.

Weaknesses are exposed and teams are left with the knowledge that they might not be as good as they thought they were.

The University of Wyoming women's basketball team learned a lot about itself this past weekend then.

UW (4-2 overall) dropped back-to-back games in the UCF Thanksgiving Classic, losing 55-40 to Northern Iowa and 65-59 to IUPUI. In both losses, the Cowgirls trailed early and had to spend the majority of the games fighting uphill.
